Snowfall amounts of 6 to 8 inches across the lower elevations
and 8 to 12 inches across the mountains are expected... with the
heaviest snow falling along the favored northeast facing slopes of
the Wet Mountains. Gusty north to northeast winds may cause
reduced visibilities in blowing and drifting snow at
times... especially this afternoon.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Strong winds and reduced visibility are expected due to heavy
snowfall and blowing snow.

Avoid travel in the warning area. If you are planning to travel
in the warning area during the time of the warning... listen to
the latest weather forecast and consider traveling at another
time or by another Route. If you must travel in the warning area
during the time of the warning... take along a winter survival
kit. If you become stranded in a rural area... stay with your
vehicle until help arrives. To keep warm in your vehicle... run
your engine 10 minutes each hour... and make sure the exhaust pipe
is clear of snow to avoid Carbon monoxide poisoning.
